This slightly melted voltage converter was sent by Ryan from Canada. It turned out to be quite interesting because it had two modes.

The Hammer of Persuasion
Oh yeah i love seeing the electronics with an eu plug made by people who have never seen an eu socket hahaha there is no way you could ever plug it into any eu sockets because all of them are reassessed but this it completely flat. Sadly I got some things with that defective design in the past.
Buy cheap buy twice
I had a similar one that was 110 to 220 i was running a uvc bulb in the camper trailer an found it before it melted down. I think the bulb was 100 watts , just crap i guess .
i would have just put a fan and the switch turns it on or off.
What is the use for a mains voltage converter that can only power minuscule loads? You probably could not even connect an electric razor to that gadget without frying it.
Clive’s best videos always start with ‘let me get my hammer’ 😂
Reminds me about the power supply on my first computer. It had a setting with a red! Switch on the backside that you could choose between 110 and 220 we use the latter and my curios nature got the best of me and i flicked the switch and the computer died. I got someone to look at it and it was only a fuse that blown. Next time tho i turned on the computer some capacitor or what it was had apperantly taken damage and after a few seconds of the computer running it blew. And this powersupply as you know has a fan blowing out in this case a hefty amount of smoke. The appartment we lived in had a strong smell of burnt electronics for several weeks after that. I never played around with switches after that i can tell. 🤣
I feel like this was electroBOOM
"The Vise of Knowledge" lol! And the Hammer of Wisdom.
“Vice of Knowledge “ is what my ex used to call her beaver.
I would dispose of the transformer (recycling is what they call it today) and replace the trimmer with a potentiometer. Add an suppressor choke and the universal dimmer for the workbench is ready.
Very nice video! Those high power resistors across the output are there to actually power the triac by allowing current to be through itself. Then it will allow it to run perfectly stable with absolute no load unlike a standard dimmer! That's cool, I will try and mod a standard dimmer to allow that.
